a recap: it's a small world in disneyland is closed down to make some changes- since the boats sometimes got stuck (completely stuck) under loads of...less small passengers....the boats are actually getting more buoyant, and they're deepening the water channel by just an inch. nevertheless, tell all your american-hating friends.

The overweight problem is absurd. Another showing of laziness in the world today.

[MeDeFe]

Poor poor Americans. No more rides for you until you lose some weight.

the company gave coupons for food for the people whose rides broke down

It's a conspiracy!

Its not so much that Americans are gluttonous slobs, its that they're idiots that don't know how to eat right. In health class, they say every thing's bad; chips, candy, alcohol, everything. Really, they should just focus on the few things that are really bad for you, and hammer that in. What gets most people, is pop, white bread and stuff like that. Chips won't make you fat, unless you really go overboard with them.

Personally I think they should just ban all really unhealthy things, and enforce fitness programs. I wouldn't complain, and anyone who would is a moron. To bad that fucking liberals run the world now.

Employees ask larger passengers to disembark - and compensate them with coupons for free food.

Ya we are a very fat country. My family is all in shape though.

Thank you I also believe the Fast Food Industry has something to do with it too. I never eat McDonald's and I am an avid athlete too. I say that most Americans are addicted to television making them lazy as well as fat because they are doing nothing, mistaking boredom for hunger. Overeating is a disease and should be monitored.

fat people are cute

[a-person1192]

I personally find them sickening but that doesn't mean i avoid them though. a couple of my friends are large, and my own family is rather large anyway.

[browng-08]

1/4 of my city (Winnipeg) is obese. Holy crap!

I like this post, for some reason.

well 2/3 of america is overweight, 17% of them being kids and children
i myself am pretty slim i guess, 140 and 5'7" (probably taller). i eat like the dickens though, and it's only my fast metabolism that saves me

That's cause they are. It's no point to just talk about the important stuff, it's important to educate. White bread isn't going to make people pop, but excessive junk food will. There is no point enforcing unhealthy things. The point you're missing is that it's all about balance. Going to McDonalds isn't going to make you fat if you go a couple of times a year. GOing often however over a year will. Not only is your fitness program impracticable and laughable I fail how to see how this is the liberal's fault. Or how liberals run the world.

Where I live I see lots of children that are like 12 and under and they are the more obese of children. From what i see. It's sad 5 year olds shouldn't be obese or even overweight for that matter because they are so active anyway.

[lucky_topher]

the more fat people there are out there, the better people who take care of themselves like myself look

eat up fatties!

[strike wolf]

So, Disney repays the fat people by making them fatter?

Nah a piece of chocolate here and a burger there won't do any harm, you gotta enjoy life too. Just find the right balance and variety.
And maybe go to the gym every now and then
